Tulip arrived at Flicka in the spring of 2010, from the continent – as with so many others like her, she was in poor condition. She was very thin and, due to prolonged malnutrition, has weak back legs.

Tulip is a shy, quiet and sensitive donkey; her previous treatment has left her very timid and anxious, but she has learned to trust us to a degree.​Tulip is closely bonded with Blossom and Barney, who she arrived with.
